I believe you can do that, but the main admin app (reached via the "site" button on the Navbar, for instance) has a button for doing the copying for you. This workflow is discussed in the Overview chapter of the book: <http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview#Say-hello> Also, Web2py should detect your THG installation, and use the mercurial for it. When you're in the admin view for your app, a "Versioning" button will show on the Navbar. The page that takes you to is a simple wrapper for Mercurial; it will create a repository and allow you to commit, and show the commit history. If you only are doing linear development (in the Hg/THG sense of linear), then you don't need anything else, but you can point your THG browser to those repositories or use command line stuff if you need more power-user support. I'm still fairly new to Web2py, but the book and this forum have made me successful in setting up a simple service and some pages to display results and summaries. It's worth working through the first couple of examples, and when you're comfortable with those launching into your project. (Mercurial isn't part of the tutorial sessions, though, but you can use it with them.) /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
